Don, You would have to energize the windlass circuit to be able to hook to them and charge your battery bank. Mine has a magnetic switch like a solenoid and uses power to hold the switch closed. Yours may just be a switch.
I would want to have a fused dedicated circuit for your solar. Better option would be to connect at the battery bank or battery switch. If you are going flexible panels, others have fastened theirs on a Dodger or Bimini top. The output is relatively small so the wiring and fuse are too. Our set up allows me to not have to use shore power all summer with a fridge. Len Mitchell Crazy Legs 1989 37+ Midland On. PS: Very jealous of you guys! We still have a couple feet of ice on the bay and are at least a month behind you getting launched. With any luck ice breaker #3 will have some success.
